Comment:
I'm a newbie to openvms. Currently,I'm testing a java program on 7.3. After i installed RTE 1.3.1(the system has sdk1.1.8 also) I got **Out of memory,exiting** when running the program. The following messages are from show proc/cont: State CUR Working set 147 Cur/base priority 6/4 Virtual pages 10494 Current PC 80119B18 CPU time 0 00:00:06.12 Current PSL 00000003 Direct I/O 1354 Current user SP 7AEBA780 Buffered I/O 7292 PID 2180023F Page faults 24806 UIC [DECSS7] Event flags E0190006 C0000000 Is it normal to have such a high page faults? and how to understand event flags? If it is really caused by memory allocation problem,what's the command to adjust configuration? Or if not,anyone have some idea?
Increase the page file quotum PGFLQUOTA, and the working set WSEXTENT for the account that you run the program with. Or ask the system manager, if you're not allowed to do it yourself. To increase the values you have to use the authorize program : $ SET DEF SYS$SYSTEM $ MCR AUTHORIZE AUTH> SHOW myuserid AUTH> MODIFY myuserid /PGFLQUOTA=.... AUTH> EXIT $ LOGOFF Login again en try to run the program
I forgot... The high page fault rate may be caused by the program that's being loaded. Another option is that your working set is too small too keep the core of the program in memory. So pages keep being loaded in and out of (physical) memory. The performance guide is a good resource about the working of OpenVMS memory management : http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6491/6491pro_contents.html
And the Event flags are just two clusters of bit-flags, 64 in total. Unless you know why the program uses flags, the information is not really useful.
